PLEASE NOTE:  IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO TURN IN PLEDGES OR MAKE DIRECT
DONATIONS FOR OUR MUSTANG MINI-MARATHON FALL FUNDRAISER! 
 
If you haven’t started logging miles or collecting pledges, it’s not too late. In fact, if you turn your pledges in before or even on October 10th you will still be eligible for incentive prizes.
WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE PLEDGES? CAN I STILL PARTICIPATE?
Yes of course!  One of the main focuses of this fundraiser is encouraging health and fitness. So come, get fit, and have a good time with your friends from Gill!
 
We realize that not everyone will be able to contribute, but every little bit helps. The money we raise goes directly to benefit our children at Gill through Enrichment programs, field trip transportation, special assemblies, extra classroom supplies, literacy events, and much more. With your help, the PTA can still help provide quality education despite impending budget cuts. AND remember, your pledge or direct donation, is 100% tax deductible.  

THANK YOU!
